Overview

The problem: SMTP email delivery by some hosting providers can be extremely slow. This plugin reconfigures the wp_mail() function to send email using HTTPS (via Elasticemail API) instead of SMTP and creates an options page that allows you to specify various options.

Plugin Settings Options:

  • Enable or Disable Plugin.
  • Elasticemail API username
  • Elasticemail assigned API Key
  • Elasticemail REST API URL
  • Your account channel variable(optional)
